» | - WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1924 / - EVANGELISIY LECTURE TOPIC Christian Science Lecturer Speaks Here Editor's mote: Accompanying is an excerpt from a lecture delivered by Dr. John M. Tutt, C. S. B. of Kansas City, Mo., Friday evening, September 26, be- fore the First Church of Christ, Scien- tist, of Winnetka, at the Winnetka Ma- sonic temple. I once knew a golden-hearted clergyman, whose life was an inspira- tion, whose ministry was a benedic- tion,--one of those rare servants of the Lord whose calling of God raised him above creed and dogma, filling "his heart with compassion and his hands with mercies. He continually went about doing good. One of my childhood's treasured memories is the picture of this beloved pastor strid- ing back and forth in his study, the tears streaming down his face as he cried, "Oh, it is glorious to preach Christ!" A modern prophet-shepherd, watchful of his flock, he must have glimpsed the ecstasy of the vision vouchsafed to Simeon of old: "Mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel." Glorious to preach Christ! Yes, my friends, and it is even more glorious to live Christ, as did this preacher-pastor of my boyhood's mem- ory. His was the heart of the true evangelist. Not long ago, I read in a metropol- itan newspaper a list of no less than a dozen evangelistic campaigns going on in that city. That was both im- pressive and typical. Since the day when the priest Zacharias foretold of his infant son that he should give knowledge of salvation to the people; since the day when Mary's concept of Truth became to her the living Christ, and she cried: "My spirit hath re- joiced in God my Saviour;" since the night when the angel Gabriel, the mes- sage of divine Love, proclaimed to the shepherds: "Fear not: for, be- hold, IT bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people;" all the way of Christendom, men with the vision of Christ in their faces have striven to turn that white blaze of Truth upon darkened and stricken humanity. Christians are one as to the propriety and necessity of this glori- fied service. "Do the work of an evan- gelist," said Paul, and with that injunc- tion all Christianity agrees. "Make full proof of thy ministry," Paul added, but with that Christian Science alone agrees. What is true evangelism? Many reli- gions have arrogated to themselves the answer to that question, but it is obvi- ous that only the master Evangelist, Jesus, could determine authoritatively what true evangelism is and define the work of an evangelist. Paul must have meant: Do the work Jesus declared to be that of an evangelist. Luke asserts that the Master sent his disciples "to preach the Kingdom of God, and to heal the sick." Again, Jesus instructed the students of the memorable class of sev- enty: "And heal the sick,...... and say unto them, The Kingdom of God is come nigh unto you." And finally he said to all Christians for all time: "Go, J ea teach all nations;" "These signs shall 'follow them that they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." It is conceded by all that the spiritual healing of physical disease was a proof of Jesus' Messiahship. But that is an incomplete explanation. His works were truly an important part of his mission ; they proved not only his dviine author- ity, but also the power of Christ to des- troy all evil. Theology has taught that these works were possible to Jesus and his early students because of a special dispensation, and were utilized to es- tablish Jesus' claim to be Christ, and later, for a limited time, to establish the church. Granting that the people of those days were influenced favorably by these exhibitions, is it not evident that the people of to-day still need to turn to Christianity? Do they not need to be healed of disease and sin? Does not the gospel need to be established in the hearts of men now? 'Then why, in all reasonableness, should God withdraw the healing power, after three centuries of successful practice of Christian healing by the thousands of early Christians? To-day, Christian Scientists, mighty hosts out of all nations, swell a joyous jubilation that the gospel of the king- Otto Dovidat Ladies' and Men's Tailoring 794 Elm Street Over Vollmann's market.

It proclaims and produces the "good tidings of great joy." It makes {ull proof of its ministry; and only that religion can be truly evangelical which, through Christ, through spiritual pow- er, saves men, both mentally and physi- cally. Paul says, "Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body." Chamber Concert Tickets Ready for Music Patrons The opening concert of the series of four, announced by the North Shore Chamber Music association for the com- ing season, will be given in the Kenil- worth assembly hall on Sunday after- noon, October 26, at 4 o'clock.

Phone University 6200 1 are being sold in all north shore towns from Evanston to Glencoe inclusive, it is necessary to order season tickets at once.

In addition to "Three Wise Fools" Tuesday's performances will present Chapter two of "The Fast Express," a railroad story taken from a Satur- day Evening Post story by Courtney Ryley Cooper. On Friday, November 3, Cosmopol- itan's stupendous production, "Under The Red Robe," will be featured with a cast including Robert Mantell, John Charles Thomas and Alma Rubens. The peans of praise sung to the production by the critics have been echoed by the audiences at every per- formance and already the picture has been hailed as one of the. screen classics of all time. Woven around a pulsating story of thrills in the colorful days of Cardinal Richelieu, "Under the Red Robe" is a film that not only appeals to regular picture fans, but to students of his- tory, connoisseurs of art and devotees of the drama. Many of its scenes have been transplanted from the his- toric canvases of Reubens and others of the old masters in a manner that leaves the art critic amazed. All of the famous examples of the architecture of the period represented in the sets used are faithfully re- produced. The Palais Royal at Paris, formerly the palace of the great Car- dinal under Louis XIII, is an instance; also the interior of the Louvre. The reproduced castles of the famous his- toric personages appearing in the pic- ture--as the Castle de Cocheforet in the south of France--represent the result of much research, and afford a striking contrast to the architecture of the French capital at that time.
